There cannot be an answer to this question. Rational numbers are infinitely dense and this means that there are infinitely many numbers between any two numbers.So if you were to claim that x were the least possible fraction greater than 1/2, then there are infinitely many numbers between 1/2 and x. Each one of these would be a better candidate. But then there would be infinitely many fractions between 1/2 and that number. Select one of them and there are infinitely many fractions ...


I hope you get the idea.

It doesn't exist. 1/2 is the same as 0.5

A little bit more than that is 0.50001

A little bit less than that is 0.500001

And so on forever.
